Vedanta struggles for Bauxite linkages

BHUBANESWAR: Vedanta Aluminium, a unit of Anil Agarwal-owned London-listed Vedanta Resources, is still struggling for bauxite linkage even after it was forced to close down its one million tonne refinery two months ago due to non-availability of bauxite - the key raw material used to produce alumina.

The Naveen Patnaik government, which assured bauxite supply, is yet to identify a mine to rerun the refinery even as the locals cry foul, demanding chief minister's intervention .
